This is an important site in terms of recreation and urban spirit at a central location in Helsinki and fits into the urban milieu and establishments near by. I've shown it to kids and tourists and everyone has loved it. It already has the potential to be a focal point for visitors even further afield. I find it ludicrous that it would be destroyed especially when there is such a surge in popularity for street art and graffiti evident from regent large scale exhibitions at Taidehalli and HAM and LUX Helsinki among others. The skate park not only features work from top line of Finnish artists, but has been utilised by important international artists whilst visiting and exhibiting at the near by, well known, street art gallery, MYM.It also provides an important location for youth in the city to come together and be active via skating and painting graffiti, especially considering it's convenient location near the youth centre Happi. It's also conveniently located at the time of the Flow Festival, contributing to the overall creative atmosphere of the area.
As you can see from the many examples above, the skatepark has an important cultural significance being an established part of the local community as well as offering free creative experiences to people of a variety of ages and backgrounds. Please do not destroy this.

Skateboarding is really international sport that has big history in urban culture. This can proudly be seen already inside Helsinki-vantaa airport really nicely. The text above about suvilahti being like a first stop place for skaters arriving all around the world is a fact and this is also building up the value of Helsinki in being the place for urban culture extreme sports! Keeping in mind that this place could work as a warmup park for olympic games in the future not so far from these days.If even Male in Maledives have space for "pool" for skaters I believe in Helsinki it's not to growded to demolish this great cultural herritage built by the sweat of passioned people.

I don't think skatepark even if built diy should be torn down. Hard work goes into diy skateparks. And local skatespots/parks have great local communities and tearing down the park tears apart the community.(Carrollton, 2018-04-14)

Suvilahti DIY is probably the most know skatepark of Finland so it has to be protected. It has created community around it and many people have acquired friends there and found their place in this life. If this park removed from the face of the earth, Helsinki loses again one modern multicultural community and that's not what this city needs.(Helsinki, 2018-04-15)

It's great place for skateboarding, bmx and scooters. The city does not provide any facilities near the center of town, so it is an important landmark for such activities. It also makes the area arm less generic and more interesting. At least preserve the place for it's art work if nothing else(Helsinki, 2018-04-15)

The park is a unique place that should be saved. There are too few skateparks in Helsinki and this specific park is one of the few that is outdoors.(Helsinki, 2018-04-15)
